Abstract:
This paper forms part of a Doctorate Thesis, currently being completed at the Allergy and Immunology Section of the Ntra. Sra. de la Candelaria Hospital, Tenerife, regarding the Epidemiology of pollens We would like to illustrate that this island and its provinces are similar to a miniature continent, where pollens from the most important allergenic families present in the National Territory of the Iberian Peninsula can be found. We have a very high incidence of patients allergic to grass pollens (gramineas), Mugwort (Artemisia), Pellitory (Parietaria) and plantain (Plantago) pollens, with respect to the number of inhabitants and allergic subjects living on our island. In a further paper, we shall expose the graphs corresponding to an Aerobiological Study during the last five years, where we obtained more than 100 gr of pollen per m3 of air.
